Wake Up! Week 2 Viewing Guide and Morning Open Thread
Week 2 of the college football season brings you some interesting early matchups, as the TV overlords enjoy getting additional eyeballs in those breakfast hours.

2026 Alabama Football: Kentucky Defense Preview and Game Prediction
As talked about in yesterday’s piece on the Wildcat offense, Kentucky is breaking in a whole new coaching staff and a roster generally built from the transfer portal, so there’s a whole lot of “we’ll see” when it comes to what kind of product they actually put on the football field. In week 1 against […]

Happy Friday, everyone. Alabama will hit the road tomorrow to open SEC play at Kentucky.

Blogpoll 2026: What Is It and Why Do You Need It In Your Life?
Haley Sawyer put Michigan at #17 this week. What is a Blogpoll you ask? You won’t find it in Webster’s Dictionary. Your friends probably won’t allow it in a game of Scrabble. In the simplest and most obvious terms, it is a poll from bloggers. Why do you need it? The AP Poll is the […]
2026 Alabama Football vs Kentucky: Previewing the Wildcats’ Offense
After many long years with Mark Stoops generally whelming at head coach, the Kentucky Wildcats finally made a change this offseason and brought in the Will Stein, the young offensive coordinator at Oregon, to be their head man in his first shot at head coaching. Stein runs a pretty normal spread offense with roots in […]
Jumbo Package: Michael Carroll listed as “doubtful” at Kentucky
Happy Thursday, everyone. We don’t know what happened to him, but Michael Carroll is officially listed as doubtful for Saturday’s game at Kentucky.

He started the first […]

Random Thoughts Week 1: Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?
Does anybody really care? Well since you asked, YES! Most college football fans do want to know what time it is. The real college football season has arrived and right off the bat, controversy. Michigan does the time warp. Notre Dame also got a helping hand from the referees. The SEC went 16-0. Even with […]
Jumbo Package: Keelon Russell and Alabama may be working their way back to the top ten
We’re going heavy on the video links today. First up, we got press conferences from the whole contingent of Alabama coaches. Will Sanders got the start, but Mal Waldrep got more snaps.

Jumbo Package: With ECU in the books, Keelon Russell now faces first road test at Kentucky
Happy Monday, everyone, and Happy Labor Day. Hopefully you all are enjoying some time with family today, and talking some Alabama football.

10 “intrigued” graphs from ‘Bama vs. East Carolina
Welcome back, folks Roll Tide! In some ways, it was a long offseason coming off of an absolutely sour Rose Bowl. On the other hand, it never ceases to surprise me when one more Week 1 has already appeared! Summer is gone, football is here. For anyone new here: the “Graphing” series is a football […]
Initial Impressions from the ECU game
Coming into the season opener, Alabama fans were most anxious to see how the Tide looked along the rebuilt lines of scrimmage, some shiny new toys at running back, and of course wunderkind QB Keelon Russell. The competition was a far cry from what they’ll face in SEC play, but outside of some first game […]
Victory Thread: Tide rolls over East Carolina
We will have plenty more to say per usual, but Alabama took care of business in the opener. There was reason to be encouraged by both lines, as Alabama ran the ball much more effectively than we saw for most of last season and successfully stuffed the run. Keelon Russell commanded the offense well and […]
2026 Alabama Football vs ECU Pirates: Second Half Open Thread
Well after one half, how are we feeling? Alabama entered this game determined to show they could run the football after an entire off-season of questions about it, and the trio of Daniel Hill, EJ Crowell, and Trae’Shawn Brown all looked to have a bit of juice that nobody showed a year ago with Hill […]

Happy Friday, everyone. Tomorrow you will wake up, have some coffee, and then start preparing for Alabama football to kick off at 11am. Your game previews: Questions surround Alabama’s offense heading into the 2026.

Jumbo Package: Who’s ready for the “Keelon Russell show?”
Happy Thursday, everyone. Two more days until the season starts! Colin Gay has decided to get you all frothy for some Alabama football this morning. There was that time against Temple when he scrambled to the right and hit a curl route dagger to Emmanuel Ellison while falling, parallel to the sideline, using a sidearm […]
Alabama Football 2026: East Carolina Preview and Prediction
This one is going to be one of the more impossible opponent previews you’ll see, as the ECU Pirates have nearly turned over their entire team after a nice 9-4 record last year under coach Blake Harrell. Guys like running back London Montgomery and safety Ja’Marley Riddle (two of their top players last year) have […]
Kalen DeBoer Names Alabama Kickoff and Punt Returners… Kinda…
When asked about who will handle kickoff and punt returns on Wednesday, Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer stated: “you’ll see a combination of Ryan Williams, Trae’shawn Brown, Dijon Lee and Rico Scott more than likely.” He was not more specific than that. It’s probably safe to assume that cornerback Lee (2 PR for 32 yards […]
Jumbo Package: Coaches seem confident in run game, defense
Happy Gump Day, everyone. Only three sleeps separate you from Alabama football’s breakfast date with East Carolina. Everyone is excited to see Keelon Russell sling it, but the bigger question will be the run game. This team gained 48 rushing yards in the final three games of the 2025 season. Granted, they faced elite competition […]

Jumbo Package
It’s officially game week, and we got a whole suite of press conferences from the coaches. First up, Ryan Grubb, who is as anti-coach-speak as you’ll see and is always good for a nugget or two of info. The two important bits: If Crowell can hit the ground running from day 1, it’ll go a […]
Random Thoughts Week Zero: We’re Back… Kinda
Well, Roll my Tide and color me Crimson! College football is back!! Kinda… A few years ago, TV invented “Week 0” which preceded the traditional Week 1 that would start the college football season on the Saturday before Labor Day (the first Monday in September). Money grubbers loved it so much that just this week, […]
Jumbo Package: Optimism abounds on Game Week
Happy Monday, everyone. Or should we say, Happy Game Week! Congratulations for having navigated the long, hard offseason.
